Hi! my name is Ed, I'm a 20 year old trans man from the UK and i am hoping to get top surgery within the next year/few years.

I have felt dysphoric about my chest for the longest time now. I came out to friends when i was 12 years old and as i went through puberty i noticed more and more discomfort with my chest.

I am currently reading through surgeons and their reviews/results however as of now i am heavily considering Peter Kneeshaw in Hull.

It is so important to me that I'm able to get this surgery, my chest is a huge and constant source of dysphoria for me and affects my mental health quite badly. To have this surgery would mean having the reassurance that I'm living the rest of my life as my true authentic self and nothing could change that. i would feel so confident in the way i dress myself, present in public and just exist in general. this surgery could mean id be able to be shirtless at the beach or on hot days, it means i could wear and open shirt or a tank top and not feel self conscious about my binder, and even that I wouldn't have to bind to feel comfortable.

The goal of this GoFundMe is to raise the costs needed to cover

-a consultation about the surgery

-travel/petrol

-the surgery itself

-anything needed for recovery

Anything anyone can donate would mean the whole world to me.

Thank You

-Ed
